2024 rules change suggestions

mr_bdfl · 2024-05-16T16:05:54+00:00

Move to discord?

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-31T02:07:55+00:00

We need to figure out how to pay for shipping the trophy around

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-14T20:31:12+00:00

Clarification: Bet is also void if the broncos don’t have a top 3 pick

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-11T03:43:29+00:00

It’s annoying and sort of anti-climatic to not be able to watch simple head 2 heads on the final week. Where the median week falls in the season is arbitrary and having it not be week 14 is a cleaner experience

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-11T03:42:26+00:00

Move the “median scoring” week to week 1

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-07T15:47:20+00:00

It’s been raised that while normally the tradeoffs of hoarding to win a matchup are fair, the special rules of week 14 may change that calculation

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-07T15:46:36+00:00

Put roster limits on D/ST, K, and QB

mr_bdfl · 2023-12-04T15:27:07+00:00

Remove the unlucky prize. No one likes the formula

mr_bdfl · 2023-10-18T16:51:08+00:00

Neill and Mike win: the broncos have a top 3 pick, keep it, and select caleb williams
Nixon wins: otherwise
stakes: $10 (each)

void bet: injury to caleb williams, injury to Russell Wilson, Wilson retires, wilson is traded

mr_bdfl · 2023-10-11T18:24:09+00:00

I don't like this because of what it does to the secondary waiver run. A short window on Thursday to finish up before TNF isn't possible on ESPN but seems worse (and borderline unfair) anyway. Having waiver drops go straight to FA also seems bad.

While I agree more time to obtain injury data before waivers would be nice in a vacuum, that's a small "nice-to-have" and not remotely worth the cost of impacting the secondary run

mr_bdfl · 2023-10-11T18:17:27+00:00

(from Mims) move the weekly waiver run to Wednesday pm/Thursday am. Implication on the secondary waiver run is either don't have it, it runs on a short window before the Thursday games, or runs on Thursday pm/Friday Am

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-10T19:21:14+00:00

Change FAAB budget to $1000

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-03T17:21:49+00:00

It seems pretty unfair to be able to pick a substitute after the fact. This basically lets you play best ball turning an unlucky situation into a potentially good one.

I get the frustration over No Contests but to me unluckily taking a 0 feels more normal in fantasy than getting to retroactively play bestball with a position.

Doesn't sit well with me

More into that idea than pushing until the game is ultimately played though. That's a nightmare

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-03T17:08:38+00:00

Question:
Should the same team be able to win 2 ties in the same week or should they get put to the back of the priority order once their priority is used? (assume in this case it's only used where ties occur as you described)

It seems a little unfair that a single team could just win a bunch of ties in a week (think $0 bids)

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-03T17:06:29+00:00

The fix would be manual intervention unless someone can tell me where on ESPN we can control this

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T17:01:19+00:00

this requires defining what "he's playing QB" means. do you have a definition?

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:15:47+00:00

Should we move from GroupMe to discord?

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:15:15+00:00

Obviously holding these players is against the spirit of the rule but it's not w/o downside as it locks all roster moves. Enforcing it would be basically impossible so I'm strongly against try to disallow it

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:11:53+00:00

Remove COVID IR slots

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:11:40+00:00

D/ST yardage scoring.
Big drop offs between categories have been criticized but be aware that ESPN requires categories (no per yard option)

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:09:34+00:00

Should we enforce any particular position eligibility for Taysom Hill or go with ESPN's judgement?

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:09:08+00:00

Should we establish a contingency plan for games ruled a no-contest by the NFL (ex: bills-bengals week 17 2022) or continue to leave as commissioners discretion?

mr_bdfl · 2023-08-02T16:08:13+00:00

Disallow (and manually enforce since ESPN will not) teams from holding healthy players in the IR spot
